Why put Ty France on waivers if Jerry and Justin didn’t have a plan to replace him right away?? Can’t afford to trot out a bunch of Tacoma guys when your trying to keep pace with Astros and Rangers. Don’t tell me Vosler and or Locklear were the answers. The lack of planning that goes into some of Jerry’s decisions is mind boggling. 🤔
They also didn't think through sending Zavala and just having Garver as the sometimes backup who plays in the same lineup with Raleigh every few games.
Are we seeing a pattern here?! Jerry has one strength which is scouting/acquiring players for his little farm pet projects. His ineptitude to acquire for major league rosters, was a disaster for the angles. & what do ya know. History repeats itself in Seattle.
You mean when they miss the playoffs there will be major consequences. Sadly, none of them will matter because we will have the same ownership who will continue to undercut the front office, making it irrelevant who they hire to be the next scapegoat for their greed, incompetence and miserliness.
I apologize for the length of this screed, but your show today was just too awesome... I woke up this morning to see your new episode had dropped, and that you recorded it on Monday night. I only wish you had held off and recorded it after Tuesday night’s disaster. The image of you guys losing your minds with Julio going on the IL on top of everything else would have been hilarious. There was so much good stuff in your show today…That comparison to the 2010 lineup was particularly brilliant. You guys need to send a “Thank you” card to the Mariners for providing all the incredible content they have been serving up this season. Man…I’ve been saying for most of the last two years that were it not for that 14-game winning streak in 2022, and a hot August last year, the Mariners are a .500 team, at best. And we are seeing that play out as years of bad FA signings, the inability to develop/promote good hitters (aside from Julio, and we all know how his season has gone) and a thunderously deaf-to-its-customers attitude from the ownership has produced a team that is the poster child for needing to win every game, and have other teams lose at the same time, just to hopefully sneak into the playoffs. Year after year after year. Personally, I never bought into DiBozo’s “step back” plan. Never have felt like Scott Servais is the right manager for this team. But, here we are. They both probably deserve to be sent packing, especially when the Mariners don’t make the playoffs this year. But, now we are stuck in a sort-of “Better The Devil You Know” position, I guess. If they blow up the whole thing, then they are admitting that the last decade, the period since the “step back” season, and the last four years, in particular, were all a sham. And we will be back to Square One, but in a worse position, in a way, as this vaunted, young pitching staff will have wasted another year, and will be another year closer toward being broken up because we know ownership isn’t going to pay to keep everyone…If they can even keep anyone. Well…The series with the Angels is lost. And there very well may be a sweep today. And if there is, we might as well get out the broom and sweep away the rest of the season.
19:57 “Let me pronounce this correctly, irrevockable waivers?” “No”. “Did I get that right?” “No”. “No?” “No.” “Vokeable?” “Yes”. 😂😂😂😂 you guys are the best.
Mariners ownership only wants to win 54 percent of games and keep fans to come, but miss the playoff by one game, and Mariners ownership will be very happy with that.
Well make no mistake, they'd rather make the playoffs. Making the playoffs brings in more money. Which is the only thing they care about. If they miss the playoffs though their fine with just milking the fan base.
@@jollyredjoker7682 despite the overwhelming negativity to the current lineup yes if you infused it with some decent additional bats it would improve the lineup greatly. I think Rojas,Robles,Raleigh,Raley,Polanco are decent hitters imo...not to mention Jrod when right is top tier. Also some of the young minor league guys could possibly give you something.
They have had decent hitters but lack of motivation or the proper motivation by Scott. Scott must go and put Manny Acta in, he’s had major league experience and leave him there till off season. Not sorry, Scott must go.
I’m definitely in the 3rd camp. I am pleased with Jerry for the most part. We have consistently gotten good players that come here and fail. Once ok but several years in a row our offense has been terrible the common denominator in this equation is the coach it’s time to get him out of there and try a different route.
LG is correct. One bat, one big name free agent is not going to do it. Only problem is, whenever we do go get a WRC of over 1 free agent they proceed to have their shittiest year of their career at the plate in Seattle and then are released or not offered a longer contract only to go to a new team and be right back to their regular selves.
even if the mariners get the 5 best bats in the world. Those hitters will be hitting 190 within a month. And striking out at a record clip. Owning the zone baby.
Im all for hoerner jazz and lane thomas but they arent really really good bats. Better than what you have but you still need a better bat somewhere. Send garver to straight backup catcher and get me a justin turner TYPE masher thats still producing and will bring a veteran playoff presence to this team. I do like the conforto idea. They need players now. Dont have to sell the whole farm to get better but you could go a little crazy. I have a feeling they are gonna roll with polanco though. And unless someone takes on hanigers contract they arent dropping him either.
I agree with you guys, they need to add, in my opinion they need to full on swing for the fences. If they REALLY wanted Vlad, Robert and maybe even Jazz they could do it and the only team in their way is Baltimore, but that team needs pitching. The Mariners can do all of that without trading any of the current starters which speaks to how great the farm is. However getting all 3 of those guys or 3 - 5 new bats in general isn't the most realistic thing which is why it's not an either/or, it is a both/and. They need to add, AND the current core, starting with Julio NEED to play better or else...
If I'm building the perfect deadline... We need to shore up our bullpen first, by quickly going for the big arm in 2024... Athletics get: 2B Cole Young and C Harry Ford to the Athletics for CP Mason Miller. We can use a setup arm to get a LH DH vs RHP from the Orioles, Cal and Garver can cover C & DH vs LHP... Orioles get: RP Ryne Stanek & 3B Ben Williamson for 1B Ryan O'Hearn & OF Cedric Mullins (O's save $3M in payroll) This sets up the first blockbuster trade with the Pirates and Athletics, as we flip Mullins to offset salary... Pirates get: SP Bryan Woo, OF Brent Rooker, OF JJ Bleday, and OF Cedric Mullins Athletics get: C/OF Endy Rodriguez, SP Logan Evans, SP Bubba Chandler, and OF Jake Suwinski Mariners get: OF Bryan Reynolds, RP Lucas Erceg, and 3B Ke'Bryan Hayes Which brings us to the final blockbuster trade with the Cubs... Cubs get: OF Jonny Farmelo, SS Tai Peete, 2B Michael Arroyo, SP Michael Morales, SP Brody Hopkins, & 2B Jorge Polanco Mariners get: SP Justin Steele, 2B Nico Hoerner, & 1B Cody Bellinger Total salary added: $0 from Orioles, $300K from Oakland, $7M from Pittsburgh, and $8M from Cubs in 2024. Once Ty gets picked up on a league minimum pro-rated deal, it'll mean adding only $15M total. If the Mariners are tighter than this on payroll, they could move guys like Urias by sending him to a team with a low-level prospect to save $2M in remaining salary. We could also move 40-man roster pieces for cash like Mike Baumann, since we'll need space for the new players. A couple hundred thousand here and there could add up to a decent amount of cash. Though it appears ownership isn't going to care about $15M, should it yield this level of roster improvement. The reason for not getting Rooker directly is he sucks at T-Mobile, meanwhile Reynolds holds a 1.500 career OPS in Seattle, which goes well alongside O'Hearn .773 OPS career, but more recently in 2024 he has a 1.235 OPS despite our elite pitching, and their very lopsided splits at home making them nearly unhittable in Seattle. The final guy is Bellinger who has a 1.073 OPS career in T-Mobile Park over 8 games with 3 HR. Finding guys who have had success at our home ballpark is as important as finding guys who are doing well this season. Woo has not been reliable this year and he's pretty much required Hancock to be his personal on-call back-up when he's needed to skip a start. If any of the other big four get injured though, we'll be in trouble. Getting Steele gives us 3+ years of control, adds a LHP which should help switch things up a little day-to-day, while making our rotation more reliable #1-5. Miller and Erceg should give us a nice boost over Stanek being miscast as a setup man. While they are also a ways from arbitration, we might be able to get some extensions signed for some of our relievers like Miller, Santos, Brash, and Erceg giving us the best bullpen in 2024 and an even more scary bullpen in 2025 when Brash returns. When back to full health, we'd have... DH - O'Hearn - 138 wRC+ vs RHP / Garver - 133 wRC+ vs LHP 1B - Bellinger - 108 wRC+ 2B - Hoerner - 101 wRC+ 3B - Rojas - 104 wRC+ vs RHP / Hayes - 157 wRC+ vs LHP SS - Crawford - 90 wRC+ LF - Reynolds - 134 wRC+ CF - Rodriguez - 101 wRC+ RF - Raley - 111 wRC+ vs RHP / Robles - 118 wRC+ vs LHP Supersub - Moore 104 wRC+ SP - George Kirby (R) 2.73 FIP SP - Justin Steele (L) 3.16 FIP SP - Logan Gilbert (R) 3.27 FIP SP - Luis Castillo (R) 3.71 FIP SP - Bryce Miller (R) 3.84 FIP CP - Mason Miller (R) 1.69 FIP SU - Andres Munoz (R) 2.84 FIP SU - Gregory Santos (R) 2.84 FIP SU - Tayler Saucedo (L) 2.98 FIP MR - Trent Thornton (R) 3.53 FIP MR - Gabe Speier (L) 3.60 FIP MR - Lucas Erceg (R) 3.57 FIP LR - Collin Snider (R) 2.47 FIP That looks like a team that could win the World Series... Remaining noteable prospects: SS Colt Emerson OF Lazaro Montes SS Felnin Celesten 1B Tyler Locklear SP Jurrangelo Cijntje SP Brandyn Garcia SP Ryan Sloan OF Jonatan Clase 2B Ryan Bliss OF Aidan Smith RP Hunter Cranton SP Teddy McGraw SS Dawel Joseph SP Jeter Martinez SP Cole Phillips RP Troy Taylor
@@kylewilson2819 We've lost 6 games because of our bullpen in the last three weeks... We need a closer like him... For a team that plays one runs games, a closer means more than anything. Also, who cares about Ford. We have Garver for 1+ years and Raleigh for 3+ years. You're just going to add him to the 40-man roster and burn his options? Because Cal won't go on the IL, when he played 30-50 games with a broken thumb on his catching hand. If that didn't make him go on the IL, nothing is going to make him do it.
@@DrWestlake Teams that play in one run games don’t win in the modern MLB. And you HAVE a good closer (Munoz). You can get BP depth for spare parts. And no, you’re losing games because your offense can’t generate runs. We just lost 2-1 to LA. If you’re gonna put more blame on the bullpen for giving up two runs than the offense only generating one run, then you flat out don’t know baseball
What do you have to sell? You trade Louis Castillo and try to package him with Haniger, Polanco, or Garver. Might be hard to do, but if another team wants Castillo that bad, they may be able to do it.
Seattle is the laughingstock of the baseball world. They could literally just go get Gregory Polanco back from the Japan league, but they don't even do that. They waive players instead of DFA and trading them. Next, they'll probably just sell the team and fire Jerry in August lol. That would not surprise me.
Seriously they just need to DFA and sell whoever they can for whatever someone will give. Clase/Locklear/Bliss/Robles/ f*ck it call up Cole young. Just get as many young guys as many ABs as possible. Trade Castillo for a farm Haul and let Hancock become the 5th starter. Sad truth is that lineup might actually have a better chance to make a wildcard than the guys they have rn.
Considering how cheap the ownership is, I don’t see why the batter’s eye isn’t getting looked at. Potential to change the home game dynamic and boost player confidence that would translate to road games too. Oh yeah and it doesn’t require roster moves and probably cost all that much. There’s enough stock into that batter box having some sort of issue that it’s worth doing something.
We are tied for 1st place only because it's a down year for the division. They are just 4 games over .500 and it's all because their pitching staff has carried them. That staff is a staff that is good enough to have a 20 game over .500 record with just an average offense. Horrible job by ownership and the F.O.
Dipoto could've forced a trade paying 120% of the cost 5-6 weeks ago, but because he's not understanding that you have to be good to get fair trades. Now instead of flipping 8 losses to wins and having an 8 game lead with two months left, now we're in deep crap... Now, I just hope they either don't make major trades or at least keep Emerson, Lazaro, and Celesten...
it doesn't matter what the organization does after the season if they miss the playoffs. Unless they sell the team and get owners that want to win and up the payroll to the upper third of the league. The next GM and or coaching staff will still be hamstrung. The ownership is the issue. The owners ARE the problem. The owners are the reason that a team loaded in T.O.R. starters but hover around .500. The owners are sabotaging the success potential of the team.

I would sell Jorge Polanco, Mitch Haniger, and Luke Raley to Boston for Devers and Ceddonne Rafaela.

E-reh-vi-ka-ble.
"IF" the Mariners miss the playoffs? LMFAO!!!!
Get Vladimir jr for Ford and Hancock. That may be enough with the pitchers.
Vlad alone isn't fixing anything, ownership won't pay to keep him, and Ford is the ONLY replacement for Cal when he is inevitably traded next year.
